Doing Marriage Badly Is Far Better Than Not Trying at All

from Doing Marriage Well · host paulb5d

Perfectionism can stop us from trying; this episode argues that it's better to attempt marriage imperfectly than not to try at all. Using G.K. Chesterton's insight, the host explains why honest effort, forgiveness, and gratitude matter more than flawless performance. Drawing on personal experience from a 41-year marriage, the host shows how accepting mistakes, thanking sincere attempts, and encouraging one another sustain love and growth over time.
